As
a result of these mistakes, the tax credit cannot be allowed to the taxpayers
while processing returns despite the tax credit being there in 26AS statement.
The CBDT, therefore, desires the taxpayers to verify if the demand in their
case is due to tax credit mismatch on account of such incorrect particulars and
submit rectification requests with correct particulars of TDS/tax claims for
correction of these demands.

The
procedure for filing online rectification request has been given below:
